Len,
Have you checked your power and ground wiring? An intermittent
interruption in power to the unit could cause those symptoms.
If you want to borrow my Plasma II unit to trouble shoot the problem,
you are welcome to it. I don't need it right now. #%@#*%&###.

Allow me to add that I'd come down this weekend to help you work on your ignition,
but I'm going to be tied up with my son's wedding Saturday, and thereafter
with getting ready for hosting June 25th. You'll get through without me somehow...
Heads up for all SERV pilots: in my quest for some food that won't require me to
spend the whole time at the grill with my back to my guests like last year,
I am looking at buying a vat of BBQ from the Homestead Resort. Had some of this
at a wedding last month and it was wonderful!!!
Don't forget that the river is warm and full now, perfect for tubing. Ask Dean
and Jeanine Meylor about that. You guys thast came last summer and didn't stay
to float the river missed a treat.
It's gonna be great. Even if Len has to arrive as GIB :-)

Oh, no you don't! You can't miss Stormy's Fly-In for a wimpy little ignition
problem. (And you better not go to Lake Norman Airpark that day, either ;-)
Fix it, Leggs!

FYI -
Coupon code "10DAD" is good for $10 off a $30 order at caf press, which is
where you can order a SERV shirt or mug. Offer expires 6/14. Sorry for the
short notice. More details here: http://www.cafepress.com/serv
We've personally ordered the long sleeve t-shirt and golf shirt, and the
quality is good. The golf shirt is not as nice as the ones Len acquired for
us previously as the decal is ink, not embroidered. I like the t-shirt, the
long sleeves are good while flying my airborne tanning booth.
Cheers,

Larry Bowen, RV-8, 99 hours, down for prop repairs.
